Well I have been in Livingstone last three days and what an experience it has been!!! Well we got here and experienced high tea!!! High tea was at the royal livingstone hotel very ritzy and expensive and we had tea on the balcony and watched the sunset and had sandwiches and pastries! YUM!!!!! I felt like a royal that night! The Falls was to our left and we could see the mist from it! Amazing!!!! Then we went to the Falls that night and saw the lunar rainbow, which is breath taking! The lunar eclipse also happened that night as well! So cool!!!

On Thursday we went on our Safari!!!!! Oh my goodness, my new favorite animal is an elephant!!! We were right behind a line of four elephants and the mommy turned around and stared us down!!! She was so pretty!!! We saw the elephants bathing, eating and walking!!!! We also saw many giraffes, and they walk like camels which is so cool!!!! The females are lighter in color than the males and some have different patterns of spots!!! We saw many hippos!!!! I now know why they have the saying happy as a hippo!!!! We saw warthogs, also known as pumba from the lion king and many baboons!!! It was incredible! When I get home I am going to watch the lion king!!!

So today was free in the morning and I went shopping at the market! I bought lots of great souvenirs and I traded some things today also! Way fun! I have become an excellent barter! This afternoon we went to Victoria Falls and I got some amazing pictures!!! I also got wet, but I had a pancho on so not too wet but so fun!!! There is a bridge that we walked across to see the falls and the whole group just yelled when we ran over it! Very liberating experience! The Falls in something to see, it took my breath away!!! Tonight we went on our sunset cruise, which was on the Zambezi river! It was beautiful! The sun looks like it disappears into the river! We saw a hippo family with baby hippos, so cute! I have really enjoyed coming to Livingstone!!! We leave tomorrow to go back to Namwianga but this part of the trip was so much needed and worth it! I’m excited to see the children again!!! Pray we finish strong as a group!!! Love to all!!!!!
